How fast will these typically sale out?

[jebrand]

@michael.rose0107 Just a guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if the most popular sizes were sold out the day of release.

[goosehd]

@michael.rose0107 very hard to predict and also dependant on the size you’re looking for. 32-36’s have always been fast sellers and the crew typically order more of those sizes than on the other sides of the bell curve (smaller and larger sizes have less ordered than that main grouping),

The best thing to do is to review the size chart ahead of time when the crew posts updated measurements and act fairly quickly when they go live. It could be minutes, hours, or days.

I tend to act as soon as something I want goes live so I don’t miss out.

I would guess the 33-36 within the hour, maybe mins. I plan to to strike quickly

[gneicher]

I know the measurements, the measurements, but do you guys tend to take the same tag size as your other pairs of (lower weight) 888 for these?

[yannis]

@gneicher. Yes!

[michael.rose0107]

I’ll be logged in with credit card ready. That seems to work with prior purchases.

[worn2fade]

I’m not sleeping the day these drop and I’m calling out of work. Can’t risk nothing.

[Jord]

I sized wrong on my last pair of these, I hopefully wont do that again...

[Jord]

@worn2fade I'm laughing but I've definitely left early for some IH drops... (although I'm lucky releases are at 4pm UK time haha)

[Indigo Alchemist]

I will mostlikely stick to the same size as with my IH-888S-21od, but checking the measurements up on release is always a good thing. Since I lost some weight I‘m always tempted to size one size down

[michael.rose0107]

Hem first or after the initial soak? This will be my first 25oz.

[Workwear]

I had them hem my 666 i got about a month ago before shipping. Left about an inch to .5 of an inch of what I normally go for to account for shrinkage. Worked out fine.

[tvaillant75]

I would even let one full inch to account for shrinkage and repeated washing.

With my 25oz (non-ib) I knew I wanted the jeans to be 33.5” so I ordered them at 34.5” to accommodate the 1” shrinkage. Worked out perfect.

OD technically runs small due to the over dyeing process so I’m sure you can size down one from your OD size and be perfectly fine. Like you mentioned, just compare measurements.

All I know is if I were to get a 21oz OD I’d wear a 35 and based on the old IB measurements, I’d stick with my normal 34.

[Indigo Alchemist]

@worn2fade looks like we are after the same size mate I love the comparison tool on the IH website, super handy for cases like this. If I check the W43 on the 21oz OD and compare it to the XHSib I most likely stick to W34 and let it shrink. Taking into account double-checking measurements once available to be sure there are no surprises.
